The phase-field model of a liquid-to-solid transition was constructed where the model parameters were linked quantitatively to the interfacial properties, and the variation of nucleation barrier height in undercooled metallic melts with respect to undercooling was studied respectively based on two kinds of forms of local free energy density. The calculation results show that, with the increase of undercooling, the critical nucleus does not show bulk properties, and the nucleation barrier height decreases gradually and deviates more and more from that predicted by the classical nucleation theory in both cases. The physical spinodal occurs for a specific form of the local free energy density, where the nucleation barrier height vanishes when the undercooling reaches a critical value and the reduced nucleation barrier height can be expressed by a function of the ratio of undercooling to critical undercooling.

OF HYDROGEN INDUCED DUCTILE BRITTLE TRANSITION IN 7175 ALUMINUM ALLOY$$$$R.G.Seng: B.J Zhong, MG. Zeng and P. Geng(Department of Materials Scierce, Science College,Northearstern Univeisity, Shenyang 110006, China Maruscript received 4 September 1995 in revised form 20 April 1996)Abstrac:Effects of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of differently aged 7175 aluminum alloys were investigated by using cathodic H-permeation, slow strain rate tension and so on. The results indicate that both the yield stress and the percentage reduction of area decrease with increasing hydrogen charging time, and the degree of reduction decreases as aging time increases for the same hydrogen charging time.
